Sandrino, as he was nicknamed, knew he wanted to be a Ranger and he did his homework to make it happen. He was on his 6th deployment with the 75th Ranger Regiment, where he served as a rifleman, grenadier, automatic rifleman, and a Team Leader. To honor Sandrino’s legacy, his family established Honoring Sandrino’s Sacrifice Fund.
